Maoming? Nine eccentrics?

The first monster: "wear shoes without socks." The strangest thing about foreigners who have just arrived in Maoming is that many Maoming men wear leather shoes barefoot. Without it, you can wear slippers as soon as you take off your shoes at home, which is convenient.

The second monster: "Parents bring the children." Among many dual-income workers, there is a little guy who goes to his parents' or in-laws' home and does his own work. Only on weekends can he enjoy his family and envy outsiders.

The third monster: "Chinese medicine is a meal." For lunch, take Beiqi and Lycium barbarum as soup; If you are sleepy at work, just take a piece of American ginseng. Roast chicken wings in the evening and then have a cup of "twenty-four flavors". This makes outsiders wonder: three meals a day without leaving the mouth?

The fourth monster: "Swearing is often hung on the cheek." Outsiders and Maoming people were mixed together and having a good time. Suddenly Maoming people said, ××××××× you. Outsiders don't understand: When did I offend you? It's just the mantra of many Maoming people. You don't know until you know it. He who does not know is innocent.

The fifth monster: "Everyone loves chimneys". Attentive outsiders will find that many families have a "big deer bamboo". When visiting other families, everyone will take turns chatting while smoking, and "big deer bamboo" has no rest time at all.

The sixth monster: "every family in the shrine has it." In some old Maoming families, there is a shrine dedicated to ancestors Guan Gong and the God of Wealth. On the first and fifteenth days of the first lunar month, incense is burned to worship. Does this reflect the filial piety of Maoming people or a shrewd business mind?

The seventh monster: "Dialects are flying all over the sky." Maoming is small, but it is the birthplace of many dialects, such as Mandarin, Guangzhou dialect, Chaoshan dialect and Leizhou dialect. Xinyi people listen to Shuidong people like "ducks listen to thunder", while Huazhou people talk to Root people like "chickens talk to ducks". No wonder many foreigners feel that they are in Southeast Asia when they come to Maoming.

The eighth monster: "slippers and sleeping mats have been used for half a year." Maoming is located in the south of the Tropic of Cancer. The weather is hot and rainy, and there are few cold days. A summer mat and a pair of slippers can make do for half a year.

The ninth monster: "Sweat cloth is bigger than shirt". The weather in Maoming is hot, especially in August and September, when the sun is like fire. For a lady riding a bicycle, a shawl sweatshirt is both cool and elegant.
